Hey Neil, the kitty is my shop apprentice. Lol!!! Don't know why but it would sit on my lap while running any milling op, even the shop vac!!! Until the hose finds his tail!!!

Anyway, I'm starting into the driveline. I'm not too experienced with chain drives but I am going to incorporate some sort of mechanical tensioner. Also for the way this is set up to get the chain clearance of the motor mounting legs a idler/tensioner will have to be installed.
Hope ya all don't mind, I like lots of pics, love to see what you all have tackled and the process of it. Always a learning curve for me as I've learned a lot in a short time by following several builds from this site!!!
